Can I refill these with ink myself?

Hello Janill, Let me start by saying that yes you can have costco refill these for you. What I dont do anymore is have time time to run into costco to get them filled. Based on my calculations. It costs me around $7.75 per 2 pack of color number 96 HP cartridge pack. These also go under the name of used/refilled/refurbished. I ordered a 3 pack that came free of shipping to replace the older cartridges and had them in 2 days with my prime membership. You can tell that they should be recycled back to amazon or third party as they all can be reused over and over again. I personally save mine by putting the caps back on then keeping them ready to take to Costco or Staples, even officemax. Depending on where you live, and the model of HP you can always go the third route by ordering new from a generic company called INK4WORK they are available for around $18 a pack compared to $46 to $66 that HP wants online at the amazon wherehouse. Thinking of it, Im going to order another 6 pack of refurbished black HP AIO 7500 series ink cartridges right now while im thinking of it for my Soho. Good luck. I hope that you find what your looking for. I have 2 machines and Im thinking of adding a third fax machine along with the new T1 that i ordered. have a good day, Drew

I haven't found anywhere to purchase refills!! I cut them myself. I saved one of each size and used a arm cutter. Or you could have them cut at a store like kinkos.

No, you can't refill nor can you use compatible generic cartridges, tried both, it won't get recognized.You're stuck paying the higher prices. Very smart of Kodak to manufacture the printer in such a way you HAVE to buy new OEM Kodak ink.On the other hand, I won't buy another Kodak printer again.

Yes, you should totally be able to refill pretty much any inkjet cartridges with this kit. Here's a quick youtube search using your model printer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVQbGCBreA Basically, for all inkjet printer cartridges, you look up where you need to "drill" a small hole on top. That's where the new ink goes in, and then you just cover it up with something. I just used tape, but the way they did it on this video was pretty smooth. This kit does NOT include the tools for make a small hole or for covering it up. I just used a small drill bit I had (you can probably also use a really small screwdriver or even a metal pick) and then tape up the hole when you are done filling with ink. Inside the cartridge there is a small sponge that soaks up the ink, so it's important to not let these cartridges sit too long empty, otherwise you may not be able to refill them. Use the included syringe to draw up the ink out of the big bottle, then simply stick the syringe needle into the hole and start filling. Most cartridges can hold one full syringe of ink. If you broke open the ink cartridge....well, then, you may have to buy another one and start over with the drilling part. Or, maybe some krazy glue to put the cartridge back together. You do NOT need to break open the cartridges. Every cartridge is made to be refilled easily by the manufacturer - they just don't tell you where that is; you need to look it up. The youtube video should be enlightening. Good luck!

No, they will not. And refilling it from a bottle of ink is problematic. I think the manufacturer, Bulow, makes ink cartridges. You would be well advised to buy those.

Yes, they're large and refill easily--Just remember to keep the little plastic things you put on the bottom on them for the next refill--- Also, make sure you let the ink saturate the sponge, or it doesn't work too well-

Yes! You unscrew the internal part of the pen and screw in the new refill. They are pretty inexpensive as well.

No, I don't think so. The cartridges are not physically the same as the Epsons, and I believe the refills are done by the on-line store.

Yes. They come with cartridges that can be filled with ink. They come with a small tube of ink.

I purchased the same to products. You must break the printer to attach the ink system to the printer. I could not get it to work the instruction were quite poor. I then ordered empty refillable cartridges from the ink filling station and ink. these work great you just pull out a plug fill the cartridge with ink and put it back into the printer. You can use the ink in the ink system to fill the cartridges. Hope this helps.

The ink is encased in the cartridges so I don't know how you could use your own ink. Sorry. I haven't had a problem with the ink or tried other methods of ink before.

I don't know. Have not seen that as a possibility on the site however I am a long way from even thinking about it. The bottle are large and the amount of ink needed for a refill relatively small in comparison so it will be a while before I need another bottle. I am a home printer not a commercial printer of pages.

Yes but these are not as full as the replacement ones. I suggest you get the high capacity black ink cartridge when it's time for replacements.

You could also look for a local ink refiller. There's a store where I live that refills ink cartridges. It's very cheap and they put over 20% more ink in the cartridge than the manufacturers. (They don't fill them up.)

No but you can reuse them yourself with a kit designed to refill them that can be found online

if your cartridges are refillable, you can refill them with bulk inks. you will need to get a reset chip--you can check at refillbay.com to see if your printer type is listed for use with the chip. very easy to do

I don't know as I just buy them in the packages they have available.....most places locally (which are diminishing very quickly) won't try to refill anything but the OEM cartridge and then sometimes they are picky on that depending on the brand.........sometimes their cartridges don't work either and to eliminate the hassle I switched to buying these on the net......that's about all I can tell you...
